Financial Aid Options for International Students

International Student Scholar Award

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside offers a limited number of renewable financial aid awards for international students who are new admits or transfers. The awards may cover up to the full out-of-state portion of tuition charges. Awards are given on a first-come, first-served basis. Funding is limited.

We strongly recommend that international students apply early for admission. The earlier a student applies for admission, the greater the chance for award availability.

Important: Available only to international students admitted as degree-seeking for first undergraduate or graduate degree.
